Crude oil

Oil rose in early Asian trade on Wednesday, supported by tightening global crude supply ahead of a panel meeting of OPEC+ ministers. OPEC+ is expected to keep output policy unchanged when it meets on Wednesday, Brent crude oil futures rose 6 cents to $90.98 a barrel by 0004 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) , rose 11 cents to $89.34 per barrel.

India, which is the world's third-biggest oil importer, urged producers to show "sensitivity" towards consuming countries, hit by prices largely trading above $90 a barrel since Saudi Arabia and Russia decided to extend voluntary cuts to year-end.

"During the pandemic, when crude oil prices crashed, the world came together to stabilize the prices to make it sustainable for the producers," Union oil minister Hardeep Singh Puri said in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. He said this after a meeting with OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais.

"Now, as the world is at the cusp of economic recession and slowdown, oil producers need to show same sensitivity towards the consuming countries," Puri said on social media platform X.

The US and Western allies have urged OPEC+ to raise output to secure lower energy costs and help the global economy. OPEC+ producers argue they are acting to maintain market stability and being preemptive.
